THE GREAT LEADERS OF THE WORLD
Humanity, Freedom, Peace, Prosperity
A Canadian Perspective

Four leaders

An overview of the great leaders, both men and women who, in every era, fought for a better world and succeeded in transforming adversity into opportunities for revival and growth. Our goal is to pay them tribute in the hope that they may serve as an inspiration to the leaders of today and tomorrow.

World leaders, from ancient times to the present day, to be included in this book will be chosen on the basis of their ability to promote socio-political objectives such as reconciliation, equality, justice, human rights and peace.

Under the direction of Jacques G. Ruelland, PhD

RECENT RELEASE
The Crooked Path: Colonization to Decolonization

The Crooked Path

by Brian Hawker
ISBN 978-1-987832-28-0
$29.95

Comprehensive in scope and enlivened with personal anecdotes, The Crooked Path brings together observations and insights from Brian Hawker’s two decades as an educator in Northwestern Ontario. Within his first year, he realized that his training program could not realistically achieve its goals. He was training people who, with few exceptions, brought complex personal issues and health-related problems to the classroom. Like many non-Indigenous specialists working in the North, Brian became aware that the sheer number of problems, the jurisdictional wrangling over who was responsible for solving them and the history of past failures was almost overwhelming. In the process, he realized he had been totally unprepared for the work he had been asked to do. This is the book he would have needed and that other professionals will find uniquely valuable.
